Cancelling Orders & Transferring Stock

When a sales order is cancelled fastbase will now check if any stock items were supplied from another branch. If items were supplied from another branch and have already been transferred then it will be necessary for FastBase to create a stock transfer so the stock ends up in the correct branch.

When you delete an order FastBase will now display a message and ask if you want to transfer the goods. Please check carefully.

Non-Diminishing Parts

You can now change a part that isn't non-diminishing to "non-diminishing" even if it has transactions. Sometimes products were added but mistakenly not set to non-diminishing when applicable.

Products that are non-diminishing cannot be changed back to diminishing once transactions have been entered.

Automatic Price Updating

This option now allows you to round prices to the nearest 5 cents, 10 cents or any other value between 1 and 100 cents.

When maintaining customer discounts you can also update prices and round them. This option also now allows rounding to any value between 1 and 100 cents (not just limited to 5 or 10 cent rounding).

Credits - Surcharge %

When entering a credit you can enter a surcharge (or re-stocking fee). If you want to enter this as a percentage of the credit value you can now enter the percentage (eg: 15) then press F1. This will automatically calculate 15% of the sub-total and enter this as the surcharge amount.

GL Account Enquiry - Printing Transactions

When you enquire on a GL account now and view transactions the "Print" button has been updated to print the same detail as the GL Transaction Listing report.

Previously the "Print" option within GL account enquiry only printed journals, it did not break down the full transaction analysis (GL-UPDATE) details.
